Oh, they know. The "bait and switch" is deliberate. The antigunners long ago said as much directly. The problem is that much of the non-gun-owning population DOESN'T know the difference.
I stand corrected. I don’t normally price full auto machine guns. I know that a few years back at gunshows, I saw full auto M-16’s for around 15,000. Patrick is just another political hack trying to score political points, trample peoples civil rights on the dead bodies of his former constituents...

Yea, I like to go there just for the gun porn. Every once in awhile they have a transferable G.E. mini gun.
Correct. No new fully automatic weapon manufactured after 1986 may be transferred into civilian ownership. Thus, only pre-1986 weapons are (legally) in the hands of civilians.
I don’t call it “gun crime”-in fact many of these stories from the ‘hood involve beatings, stabbings, etc
I call it “nonwhite crime” 90-95% plus of the perps are nonwhite. There’s always a big hoo-ha about how high a percentage of the VICTIMS are-well, how about the perps?
That’s the “culture” they loudly brag about-when not trying to give some lame-ass excuses-Reagan’s fault, Bush’s fault, white flight, gentrification, blah blah blah
The Fed's have already prohibited machine gun ownership for all, but the most dedicated. I'll bet that Hillary Chabot doesn't know, which end of the weapon the round comes out.
Unfortunately, you’re right.
The big city libs don’t know squat about firearms, and the gun-grabbing left takes advantage of their ignorance.
Exactly, I know of TWO.
Both of them by police officers.
One, recently (Pennsylvania, IIRC) grabbed his department MP-5 and show up his neighborhood, include his police chief who lived next door.
Extremely rare.
However, it doesn’t help in the case of the 8-year-old who was given unsupervised range time (you can’t call a 12 year-old watching him “supervision) with a Micro UZI and he shot himself with it, with cops and range-goers present.
I mean, you would be criminally negligent if you gave an 8 year-old a jackhammer or other dangerous tool, but those nitwits let him handle a full auto Micro UZI. Arguably one of the most uncontrollable FA machine-pistols in existence.
He was shot multiple times...it had to be a machine gun. /s
Which is why you don't see gangbangers running around with full autos...they're harder to steal and keep.
When it comes to handing an machine-pistol to an eight year-old, I don’t think range rules matter when common sense goes out the window. That kid shouldn’t have fired that weapon with ANY level of supervision.
As a result, everybody in MD may suffer.

I agree completely. There are many irresponsible gun owners out there, and you can find them on YouTube. They'll hand an S&W 500 to a girlfriend without eye or ear protection and no experience in firing a gun, and then laugh when she smacks herself in the face.
I saw one where the recoil caused her to involuntarily fire it again and she almost blew her head off. I love my weapons, but they are not toys. It's not funny in the least.
There is no way an 8 year old has the capability to fire a Mini Uzi. No way.
If you can search back that far, try to find the FR threads on the case of the eight year-old. I’m in many of them.
You wouldn’t believe the number of people that sided with the gun owner, the father, the range master and the cops who were present. Many of them refused to separate their Second Amendment rights from the notion of child endangerment.
I’m sure that is the case. Just because someone can do something doesn’t make it the wise thing to do. There is a difference, as you know.
That makes sense!
